Activity 1: Initial Steps

In this activity you will create the ExpenseManagement project,
the ExpenseReport process, two roles, and a global creation activity.

This activity shows how to begin work on a project and a process. It
also helps familiarize you with AquaLogic BPM Studio. Pay special attention to
the
Project Navigator and the
Process Editor.

To insure you do not lose any work, save the project after completing
each task. To save all project components in one step, click
File > Save
All () .

Creating a Project
After evaluating the business need, the first step in modeling a business process is to create a new Project. A Project contains all of the resources necessary to model and publish your business process.

Creating a Process
Each project can have many processes. In this task, you will create the ExpenseReport process of the ExpenseManagement project.

Creating a Role
Roles created in Studio are known as abstract roles, because they may be renamed or consolidated when the process is actually deployed to production. In Studio, roles can be added from the Project Navigator or from the process editor design window.
